kinda puts things in perspective, don’t it?

Proud of the boy.

I know that this is meant to be a sobering look at the incompentency of the president, but I found the part about not being able to find oil in texas very funny. I hope he finds sand in iraq.

What a funny post.

A lot of the time I found myself calling bullshit, for example the smogification of texas thing.

Last time I checked, One guy doesn’t make all the fucking smog in a city. And, as a point of reference, the reason LA isn’t the smoggiest city is due very largely to measures the people of LA have taken to reduce it via hybrid cars and whatnot. I suppose it’s Bush’s fault that Texans like pick-ups, huh?

And this is just the beginning, I could go on all day about how much amusing half-relevant BS your post was. Good for a giggle, sure, but truthfully very weak/pointless.

I imagine that Bush’s presidency will be most noteworthy in a historical sense for his actions in securing the second-largest oil fields in the entire world at a time when the nation he was the steward for faced a time of great uncertainty and critical dependence upon oil before the world’s oil supply peaked in 2020.

The rest of your post could be useful for a Dennis Miller-style monologue that no one will understand in twenty or thirty years.

Bush owned the Rangers at one point? I did not know that.

Some of that stuff is funny though, and not totally relevant, while some of it is.

They sucked then - and they still suck. Blaming him for the Rangers’ plight is stupidity.

Nowhere did I blame him for them sucking, anywhere. I know they paid like a gazillion dollars for A-Rod I think a few years ago? And that’s really all I know about the Rangers.

Several of you have mentioned that there are some satements in the post that are “not entirely relevant”. I believe the author included those points as a comedic way to further illustrate Bush’s incompetency.

I found myself laughing at it, partly because it IS humorously written, but I think also as a coping mechanism to prevent me from breaking down and CRYING about it.

If any of you has any REAL claim of BS on ANY of the points, by all means, post a link. …but arguments like “one man didn’t make all the smog in texas” are complete bullshit - he obvioiusly changed the environmental regulations, the result of which was more pollution.

And since none of you have really been able to refute or excuse any of it so far, do us all a favor, and ask yoursleves if you REALLY suppor this idiot and those who put him in charge of our ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY!?

Part of his resume is that he ran the Rangers into the ground. My point was - they have been run into the ground since they joined the American League. No one should be blamed for the level of suckiness the Rangers have attained.

SOme teams just suck - regardless who the owners are.

Lothario,

You’re not supposed to discuss the “let’s use 9/11 to make a quick grab for the oil-fields” with outsiders.

And I wouldn’t call the Iraqi oil fields secure.
Have you watched the news lately? Read any newspapers perhaps (I know, they are not very popular in your circles).

THAT, being a Padres fan, I will concede.

Ah, you see, I just read that he owned them, and thought that was cool. I mean, I’ve only been in the country for 7 years and I am sure it was before that. I also don’t give a damn about baseball, cept for the Reds, occasionally.

I thought it would be obvious to anybody with half a brain that 9/11 was the wake up call for us to get off our asses and take care of shit that we should have taken care of ten years previously. Saddam should have been taken down back 1991.

[quote]And I wouldn’t call the Iraqi oil fields secure.
[/quote]

I’m sorry, so Saddam is still using the Oil For Food program in collusion with the UN officials he bribes to make billions of dollars every year, stockpile weapons, develop long range missile systems, pursue WMD development, etc.? I would consider the Iraqi oil fields just about as secure as any oil field can be… but that’s just me, I guess. What ISN’T secure is the Iraqi population itself. We are still working on that, but this problem is more internal to them and there’s not much we can do but try to avoid getting killed and make sure that any armed conflict is kept to a minimum. Patrols and such.

Don’t you watch the news? I mean, it’s not like you have to read anything to know this stuff. :slight_smile:
